Frequently asked
Common questions
How is OpenSesame different from Skillsoft? ⌄
The biggest differences come down to curation quality, support, and pricing transparency. OpenSesame reviews every course through a rigorous 39-point quality assessment — Skillsoft's library is much larger but inconsistent in quality. Every OpenSesame customer gets a dedicated CSM, while Skillsoft reserves that for higher tiers. And our pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees.
Can I switch from Skillsoft to OpenSesame easily? ⌄
Yes — most customers are up and running within 1–2 weeks of signing. Our dedicated onboarding team handles the full transition and integrates with your existing LMS, so there's minimal disruption to your learners.

OpenSesame offers flexible plans designed around your organization's size and training needs — no hidden fees, no surprises. View plan options → or book a demo and we'll walk you through what makes sense for your team.
Does OpenSesame work with our existing LMS? ⌄

How is OpenSesame content curated? ⌄
Every course in the OpenSesame library passes a rigorous 39-point quality review by subject-matter experts before learners can access it.
